Summary
“Would you like to dance?” Svetlana asks.
Rose opens her mouth to respond, to tell her that no, of course not. She doesn’t… She’s not a lesbian, a fact she has bemoaned many times when some man she dated turned out to be of the “not all men but definitely this one” variety. But Svetlana is already tugging on her hand, and Rose’s feet move of their own accord as she follows the other woman onto the dance floor.
It’s just a dance anyway, it’s not a big deal.
Right?
_________________________
Or: The night when Rose Landry realizes she may in fact be a lot more lesbian than she thought. At least as far as Svetlana Vetrova is concerned.

Summary
He could name it, that one specific moment when something had shifted; when he stopped seeing her as merely his dear friend, who once a year brought light and life into his dull existence. The moment when she became his world.

Draco wishes he was anywhere but where he is, or more accurately, he wishes he was anyone but who he is. When drinks don't help him forget, Draco reluctantly tries dancing, which unsurprisingly doesn't cure all his ails either. Until Beyonce starts singing, and he runs into someone on the dance floor whose presence might just change everything.
